Bug#179585: general: crontab uses anacron but anacron is not installed

[Grzegorz Szyszlo <znik@wbc.lublin.pl>]

Package: general
Version: N/A; reported 2003-02-03
Severity: normal



-- System Information
Debian Release: 3.0
Architecture: i386
Kernel: Linux avalon.wbc.lublin.pl 2.4.18 #2 Fri Sep 13 11:16:32 CEST 2002 i686
Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US


config of cron package use by default /etc/crontab file:
25 6    * * *   root    test -e /usr/sbin/anacron || run-parts --report
/etc/cron.daily
47 6    * * 7   root    test -e /usr/sbin/anacron || run-parts --report
/etc/cron.weekly
52 6    1 * *   root    test -e /usr/sbin/anacron || run-parts --report
/etc/cron.monthly


unfortunately cron package not depend anacron package.
without install anacron, temporary files are not deleted,
and waste disk space.

proposed solution:
1. install anacron package
2. reedit /etc/crontab file to remove anacron package references.
